[QUOTE="Mram10us, post: 1808283, member: 111667"] thwatson2, That method is much more controllable than flame, so I'm interested. I have read it isn't hard to over anneal and destory the zinc in the brass. I don't have enough info to argue either way yet. Just something to look at. I use to spin on a drill in my dark laundry room till i saw a bit of red then drop in water like many have done. I'm guessing it over-annealed some since the metalurgy chart say anneal color is a "dark plum" edit - forgot to put the melting point for zinc is 787f [/QUOTE]
